This home was built in 1912 at the peak of Calgary's housing boom. This house was one of four small houses built in a row and, as you can see, three of them are still standing (921, 919, 917).

The first owner was C.E. Crandell. The assessment value of this property in 1914 was $750 and taxes that year were $15.56. This house had many tenants during the decade following its construction. The list includes Mr James Shorrock, an accountant, Mr. George Smith, a retiree, Mr. Henry Smith a mechanic, Mrs. Mary A, a bookkeeper and Mr. Benjamin H, a clerk employed by the Royal Canadian Ordinance Corps during WWI. The house changed ownership when it was purchased by George W Kemp in 1940. Since that time, this house has had several owners.

This home remained almost unchanged until the late 1980's when it underwent a major renovation and addition. In recent years, ongoing renovations have restored some of the original features in this home and have added features typical to houses built in the area during the early twentieth century.
